Reggaebass Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Quick question, I use an LB 30 through a MB115 for home practice and I like the core tone , but I want a deeper bass tone , I’ve tried a cheap equaliser pedal and it does work, would I be better buying a decent one or would a compressor work or another pedal etc, thanks 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Would the Ashdown macchiato allow me to increase the bass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play with the bass on full, a bit of mid and treble off , but it’s not quite enough bass , I was looking for something to boost it a bit, 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this and ended up selling it, it applies a low pass filter so everything above 200hz is pretty much eliminated, also seems to boost the lows , great for that thunderous low end boom but not much in the way of articulation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Have you tried the "bass shift" switch on the front? I tried that a couple of times and went back to having it turned off, as it was too bassy for my tastes - but you and I may have different ideas of "deep" in our heads! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teebs Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I've used this ⏬ in the past to add more low end. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Boss-GEB-7-7-Band-Bass-Pedal/dp/B0002KZ6LQ It works! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah thanks teebs, someone at the studio gave me a battered one of those to try, and it does work quite well, I might get a new one 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO you need a different amp, one that better fits your sound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky 4000 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I wish I knew what to suggest, RB. 😬 Has that rig always needed to go deeper, or is it something new? ... I'm wondering if it's the room rather than the rig... 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Chris, I’ve got quite a few amps but I like the LB for home practice as it doesn’t have a fan , I do like the sound , but I would like just a little more low bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had it about a year, and I didn’t use it for a long time because it didn’t go deep enough, but I’ve started using it again, it does have a really nice core tone , it’s just me, I need more bass 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingPrawn Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Have you thought about using flats or some foam to mute the strings? An octave pedal would provide a nice sub effect? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 The Behringer BDI21 is only £17 on Amazon. Obviously not the same as the Sansamp VT mentioned earlier, but a clone of the Sansamp Bass Driver and will give an idea if the Sansamps could be what you're looking for. For that money it's worth having one kicking about anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Maude, I’ll have a look, the pedal world is new to me I’ve never had one, only my tuner 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
